I’m a 25-year-old Hindu guy. I got engaged in 2015, but it wasn’t my choice. Things are better now, but her family is pushing me to get married soon. I’m not ready for at least another year or two. They’re threatening to file a dowry and cheating case if I don’t marry. What should I do? I need advice.

You have the right to refuse marriage under duress. Threatening you with legal action based on false accusations is unlawful. Contact a lawyer to explore legal options and protect yourself from these threats.
